Episode 185: MS Advocacy and the 2021 Virtual Public Policy Conference with Bari Talente

We're less than one week away from the National MS Society's Public Policy Conference. This year, the Public Policy Conference is virtual, which means that you have an opportunity to attend and learn how you can advocate for change on important policy issues affecting the MS community.       Joining me to talk about the Public Policy Conference and the issues that MS Activists will be discussing with our congressional representatives in the days following the conference is the Executive Vice-President of Advocacy and Healthcare Access for the National MS Society, Bari Talente. This is Episode #185 of RealTalk MS, which means our 200th episode will be here before you know it. We're inviting you to help us figure out how to celebrate that milestone! Developing breakthrough treatments for progressive MS? We'll share the info about a video replay of an International Progressive MS Alliance global webcast that you won't want to miss. We're also talking with a biopharmaceutical company that's conducting clinical trials to investigate a solid gold nanomedicine treatment for remyelination. And we'll tell you about a study that shows how an adaptive video game that you can play on your tablet provides a reliable measure of cognitive function for people living with MS.
